	A Constant Presence New Initiatives in the Diagnosis and Prevention of Oral Cancer University of Minnesota School of Dentistry Tobacco Cessation Program Almost 44,000 Children With Disabilities in Minnesota


	On the Cover Dentists carry their caring all over the world; we all know that. We've seen the pictures, the exotic locates, and most of all, the faces of people, young and old, when they discover that oral health is possible. That discovery is also happening here at home every day, as volunteer dentists quietly and privately provide care for those in need. Our cover story takes a look at some of those volunteer opportunities community by community. Their message is simple: you are here, and you are needed. Sign on and perhaps you too wil discover that what begins at home creates its own faith and hope. A Constant Presence
